Gold ornament price

My friend today shared with me one mouth-watering offer of purchasing gold ornament at lowest rate. He heard about this offer on radio. At initial stage I was excited with this offer. After interaction with shop keeper I could make out that gold ornament sold by his jewelry shop is 18 Karat that’s why they are offering gold ornament at lowest rate. Lower karat jewelry 18 K contains more impurity hence it is lower in rate. So beware of such offers. Make sure to check these 5 signs before purchasing gold. Suitable gold karat for gold ornament is 22K.
